Paperweight
Supposedly, people would literally place their money in a container of water and throw it in the freezer, thus, “freezing” their assets. This was a foolproof way for someone to overcome their impulsive buy habits since they’d have to wait for hours before the chunk of ice thawed. By then, their impulse to buy whatever would’ve already faded.
At least, that’s what legends tell us. So, is that what happened to this frozen chunk of dollar bills? Nope. This is a novelty paperweight that consisted of fake $1 bills inside of a chunk of epoxy resin. The person who broke through the resin was probably thoroughly dissatisfied after learning how worthless the fake dollar bills were.
